Resolution number OR/2021/16
MOVED by Member T Elliott, seconded by Deputy Chairman S
Powrie:
That the Ōrākei Local Board:
a)
receive the public
feedback from within the local board area to the proposal to amend Te Ture ā-Rohe
Whakararata Waipiro / the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 as attached to the
report of the Policy Analyst in this agenda.
b)
provide its views
on the public feedback to the proposal to amend Te Ture ā-Rohe
Whakararata Waipiro / the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 for the consideration of
the Bylaw Panel in its deliberations on all public feedback as follows:
i)
support the public
feedback of submitters in the Ōrākei Local Board area for new
temporary alcohol bans for all major events at and around Rarotonga / Mount Smart
Stadium, Waiōrea / Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park, and Pukekawa /
Auckland Domain
ii)
note that within
the Ōrākei Local Board area, each proposal recorded over 60 per
cent agreement by submitters to the proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw changes,
with a total of 82 submissions
iii) note that across the 21 local boards,
agreement for each of the proposed changes was above 70 per cent
iv) note that whilst public support was high for
the proposed changes, concerns were made by submitters regarding ‘pre-loading’,
where temporary bans for events may encourage heavier private alcohol
consumption and therefore warrant stronger enforcement or supervision at
significant public events
v)
note general
concerns by submitters regarding Proposal 2 as being ‘unnecessary,
costly, too complex, and unenforceable’ and these submitters questions
as to whether this proposal is fiscally responsible within an Emergency
Budget environment.
